Lunar Eclipse Essentials

All about the Full Moon late Thursday evening/early Friday morning

July 14, 2011: Capricorn Full Moon (exact at 11:40 pm PDT)

Issues of security are brought to the forefront during the Cancer/Capricorn Full Moon. It urges us to look at our life through the lens of the questions, “Where do I feel at home?” and “How can I feel more safe and protected regardless of where I am?” In pure Capricorn fashion, these aren’t light-hearted questions, but they are ones whose answers can provide us with the riches of insight to live a more integrated and productive life.

There will be a Full Moon on Friday, July 15th at 11:40am PDT.
The Moon will be at 22 Capricorn 28’ and the Sun will be at 22 Cancer 28’.
